On The Bab Restaurant Review

On The Bab is a Korean restaurant in central London. I wanted to check out On The Bab after seeing so much hype over the restaurant online. Even though I really should no better than to fall for hype! The On The Bab soft bao buns looked interesting.


On The Bab is another one of those annoying restaurants. Annoying because their portions are small and pricey, plus the tables are quite close together.

On The Bab Soft Buns

This little place is good for 1 thing and 1 thing only
- flavoursome, unique food. You will need starters to go with your main though, as portions are small. On The Bab is not a cheap eat either, and I really don't like the layout. Tiny tables stacked closely together. Definitely not a romantic, kiddies or 1st date option.

We went for spicy chicken in soft white buns. Honey wings and spicy bbq wings. All wings come with a serving of fresh coleslaw.

As a nut allergy sufferer, I had to order my wings without the tasty looking peanut toppings, that are liberally sprinkled over all the wings at On The Bab. DEVASTATED!

On The Bab Korean Fried Chicken Wings

Therefore my review isn't really as complete as it could be. However, even without the peanuts, the honey wings and spicy chicken wings are still pretty tasty.

The soft buns are smaller than I had expected. However you do get two, so that kind of makes up for it. The white buns are super soft - almost sticky. I've never seen - or eaten such soft buns! They come filled with tender pieces of chicken, and although pretty decent in taste, I feel no need to go back to On The Bab for more.
